Ashley Griffin 0 Posted February 2, 2017 BjI know this post is old but I have a question. Did anyone not have to habe documentation regarding the 3/5 year weight? To be honest I went a while without insurance and avoiding doctors. I now have new insurance and am worried I won't qualify for vsg due to this. Advice or thoughts?

TammyLee66 152 Posted February 2, 2017 I have Kaiser insurance I have my orientation on February 7th. We have to take 12 weeks of option classes I heard that halfway through the classes you start all your preop requirements that way when you're done with your 12th class you can set up an appointment to see the surgeon and then have the surgery Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I am in Colorado if that makes a difference. I really dont want to be denied it have to wait 4 years just to get that I am still overweight documented. @@TammyLee , do you have that requirement and if so, did you meet it?

TammyLee66 152 Posted February 4, 2017 With me I have been with KAISER for four years and I have always struggled with my weight so every time I go to my doctors weighed me and my weight has not changed much and as well as my BMI I also have high blood pressure and the last few times I've had blood work done my Doctor said im on the verge of possibly being pre-diabetic if I don't start eating right my doctor always mentions that to me.
